Review for a South America Cruise on Zaandam
Stupid name
10+ Cruises • Age 80s
The Zaandam lived up to our four star mariner expectations clean, we'll run, great food, no sickness in 38 days, much better entertainment than in the past, the best staff in the world from captain to cabin boy. Good itinery of places that are hard to get to except at great expense making this very good value for money. Sea day activities were lacking especially to those who are regular holland ...

My wife and I spent 42 days aboard the Noordam, a medium size cruiseship of Holland America Line for about 2000 passengers from Sept. 24 to Nov. 6, 2017. This was just trhe right time for us with pleasant temperatures throughout our cruise. Moderate autumn weather along the Canadian und US West Coast and the first sea days on our way to the Hawaiian islands, getting warmer and more sunny by the ...

My wife and I traveled with her parents. We had a cabin on Deck 7, with a nice balcony. Check in was a 3.5 hour disaster, being told first to go to one place and then told that we had to go to another place...5 different times. And we waited and were herded like sheep from one large holding room to another. No one seemed to know what to do and of course, no water, no one to answer question, ...

The casino offered the worst blackjack payout of any casino I've encountered. They pay 7:6 (16%) instead of the usual 3:2 (50%) for a blackjack.
The food is mostly disastrous. The worst of it can be had in the lido buffet. There are long lines for every station (asian, mex, omelette, etc) because HAL insists on serving each passenger individually rather than you serving yourself. The result is ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
We cruised out of Vancouver and spent the day prior, seeing the sights. There is lots to see and do in Vancouver, so do your homework. As we were driven into the city by friends, we drove around and took in Stanley Park, then drove to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and spend the afternoon there. Tip: There are discount tickets to be found on the Internet, so do your homework. If you are unable to ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
Our trip involved me (59 y/o), my early - thirties son, daughter, and daughter-in-law. This trip was intentionally purchased with part of my parent’s inheritance. Wanted to see Alaskan wilderness with my adult kids, so picked the last Alaskan cruise of the year. (I had a fantasy that I might catch the northern lights - didn't happen.) The weather was great - only rained one day.
The sea was ...

I do my own cruise planning and read a lot of reviews of that specific cruise on that specific ship before purchasing a cruise. I observed that Niew Amsterdam and HAL in general get very mixed reviews. Some people loved it, some did not for various reasons. It is my opinion that a lot of complaints are probably from people who didn’t do their homework and perhaps booked the wrong cruise ...

I had high hopes, after cruising on the Holland America "Amsterdam" for a 2-week cruise to Alaska on June 19th thru July 3rd this year. THAT cruise was absolutely wonderful!!!
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Holland America is very consistent. Previously, I was on the 33-Day cruise in March this year, on the ms Maasdam. And, while there were many issues (it is a VERY old ship), I was ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
I chose this ship as I had heard good reviews and as it was a "holiday of a lifetime" we thought we would pay a bit more. It turned out to be the worst experience of a holiday we had ever had. There was nobody at the airport to meet us in Canada after a nine hour flight which was in itself very stressful. There was no help or guidance as to where to go with any of the organised excursions which ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
We have never been on a traditional cruise before, and we were so impressed by the excellent service from every member of staff on board this ship, from the Captain to the waiters and the room service. All the staff spoke to us whenever they saw us, and made us feel so welcome. The food was delicious, with such variety, and available at all times. Over eating was a real temptation, as it was ...
